OGDC engages Balochistan to utilise Zin gas

Oil and Gas Development Company (OGDC) has continued to accelerate efforts to unlock value from its stranded and low British-thermal-unit (BTU) gas resources, with a renewed focus on fast-tracking production from challenging assets such as the Zin Gas Field.

As part of this strategy, OGDC is actively engaging with the government of Balochistan to explore the utilisation of Zin's low BTU gas for industrial clusters and fertiliser projects. The initiative aims to support regional economic development while optimising the use of indigenous energy resources that have remained underutilised. Further strengthening this initiative, OGDC has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Uch Power to jointly assess the technical and commercial potential of using Zin gas for power generation. The collaboration will pave the way for innovative and sustainable energy solutions, particularly in areas with limited access to conventional fuel supplies.

These strategic collaborations underscore OGDC's commitment to maximising the potential of indigenous hydrocarbon resources through targeted investments and strategic partnerships. Through these initiatives, the company continues to strengthen its role in enhancing energy security, promoting economic growth and delivering long-term value for Pakistan's energy sector.
